[VERSE 1]
It was [C]in a crystal bot [F]- tle on his desk[C]
He'd [C]save it for the times[F] to not forget[C]
I [F]miss the way he'd share[G] with me
The things[C] that he[Gadd4/B] held [Am]true
While the [F]lessons rolled around his 80 proof[G]
[PRE-CHORUS 1]
All it took was[F] one sip and it [C]blew my mind
Those [G]good ol' boys sure [C]make it right
Knowing[F] smooth whiskey takes[C] some time
Ain't [G]nothing like the real [C]thing
And you [F/C]can't go back once you [C]get a taste
[G]Everything is [Am]second rate[Am7]
I'm talking [F]genuine Made in the [C]USA
Ain't [G]nothing like the real [C]thing

[VERSE 2]
[C]Thought I'd been in love[F] a time or two[C]
Didn't [C]know that I was lost[F] till I met [C]you[C7]
And [F]I could tell that e [G]- very other girl[C] was [Em]history[Am][Am7/G]
Never [F]knew how real could feel till you found [G]me
[PRE-CHORUS 2]
All it took was[F] one kiss [C]and you blew my mind
An [G]All-American [C]kind of fine
You know a[F] good woman is [C]hard to find
Ain't [G]nothing like the real [C]thing
And you [F]can't go back once you [C]get a taste

[G] The right words and the [Am7]perfect rhyme
'Cause we[F] all feel the same[C] inside
We're all [G]looking for the real [C]thing
[Cadd9/E] You know you're [F]not the same once you [C]hear it play
There's [G]nothing else[E/G#] that [Am]can replace
